  During booking you can choose hotel pickup, which is included in the price, or meet your guide on site. If you choose hotel pickup, a driver will greet you in your hotel lobby at the arranged time; if you meet on site, the confirmation email will specify the exact meeting point and include the guide’s contact details.

• Will we enter at the very first opening time?

• What is the difference between an early morning tour and a regular one?

  Please note that the main difference between early access and regular hours is crowd level: early access typically accommodates far fewer visitors, which can make a meaningful difference depending on the site visited.

  With the earliest entry, you enter with a limited number of guests; if you enter later, you still join a limited group, but you will share the space with those who entered in the previous window.
